I am growing in a dwc. I am not sure why my plants look like this, any help would be nice.

Hmmmmm.... Not an expert here!!! { Standard Disclaimer... }

But I've skimmed your grow thread too, and... Let's see... Your pH is flucuating, maybe wildly? 7.Something and dropping? Could cause some issues... What nutes are you using? At what EC {ppm}? What're your temps like?

Couple initial thoughts are towards Nute Burn, or Mag Def though...

Added thought... Seems to me, way back "when" {What, in July?!?} when I was runn'n my first grow, and I had similar problems, the experts here abouts {HOG!!! Where are you?!?!

} steered me towards a 24 hour System Flush, and a Res Change, setting pH and PPM back to where it should be...

[edit] And Res Temps... What's the temp of your Res? The sweet spot I srtrive for is 69 Degrees F. [/edit]

Food for thought! Hope it helps!!

The res temps are fine, I am using Advanced Nutrients 3 part, which has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the ph, I have no idea why it is so high. It is at 7.0 and I can't get it lower it seems, I put in a ton of ph down and it is still high.

STOP......DUMP......START OVER!!!
Once you start adding a bunch of chems and try and adjust the pH levels.....it is even harder to maintain after that. Start over with fresh water and new levels. Add 1/4tsp of Epsom Salt for good measure. pH flucts can lock out certain nutes. They should be OK after a couple days.....
